EaterJanuary 28, 2013Owners Klaus and Albert Rainer lead service that's warm as goulash, and potentially clunky menu items like weiner shnitzel and strudel are nuanced and delicious. [Eater 38 Member]
DaveSeptember 22, 2015Their Pilsner is probably my favorite, and it goes well with whatever high-cholesterol deliciousness they cook up
Iryna MykhailenkoMarch 27, 2019Tasty food, a bit too much fat, but it is expected from the Austrian place. Lively, to the point of noisy, but still great
Holger LüdorfJanuary 14, 2012Beautiful interior (looks authentic), good service and food quality & beer selection are great, too. Only issue: The food selection was a bit limited: No sausages, Obatzda or Leberkaes on the menue.
Ellen BuntinxJuly 17, 2015Very tasty food, good atmosphere and extremely passionate and friendly entrepreneurs. We went there two days in a row. Two days of delicious plates!
Tom McGhanAugust 12, 2013Wiener Schnitzel, Short Rib and Chicken & Dumplings are all amazing. Careful with the boots. Don't screw around with yours or your neighbor's. Even just a crack will run you the $50 broken boot fee.
Graham SiegelAugust 20, 2017Beef goulash and apple strudel are great. Goulash is large enough to share. Don't forget to try the draft beers!
Christopher KennedyJuly 15, 2015Warm atmosphere, generous portions and delicious food and drinks. Definitely get the apfelstrudel to finish off your meal!
The Bold ItalicJune 16, 2011Drink up! Leopold's offers 1/2 liter & liter glasses, two-liter boots, and steins in three and five-liter sizes! Try the Crispy Pig Trotters appetizer and save room for apfelstrudel. Read more
Adam SchofieldAugust 30, 2015The Roasted Chicken Breast “Jager Art” is super tasty. The mushroom sauce is so good - I'd bathe in it.
The wiener Schnitzel, which is made from pork but is so tender I thought it was calbsfleisch! (baby veal) They say their prep is a secret...top w/several Spatens! Owner claims German pretzels to come!
Liliana ZermenoSeptember 12, 2011Great food! The Wiener Schnitzel was amazing and my beef ribs to die for! Great atmosphere, great service. Defiantly coming back for more beer and schnitzel.
Nina YasavulJanuary 14, 2020Arugula salad, side pretzel, wiener schnitzel, short rib was excellent👌🏻very good beer too..
Stephen SaribalisNovember 27, 2016Love this place! Great for something different and fun environment. Curry fries!
Monica ZarateSeptember 8, 2015Really amazing lunch! The curry fries and steak and eggs were perfect! Great ambiance and service
V CMarch 10, 2013Come early to avoid lines. Has an Oktoberfest atmosphere, great for ppl who love beer, sausages and communal eating. Food was ok. Overall, slightly overrated but fun place.
Santiago Suarez OrdoñezJanuary 5, 2014All the food here is awesome! It's loud, though, so don't expect to have a deep conversation while driving from your boot glass
The food is nice sober but ghetto crazy awesome after a few drinks. Be sure to order a few dishes (crispy flat bread duhh) and share, share, share.
Michelle McCabeJune 25, 2011The broth in the chicken soup is some of the best I have ever had and the Wiener Schnitzel so tender and delicious...highly recommend both!
Coralie SabinSeptember 7, 2015I loved the atmosphere and the food was good. Not my favorite German place in San Francisco.
Christophe LampertiApril 26, 2018The Jägerschnitzel (breaded pork) with Spätzle (pasta) is quite good.- J JohnJuly 27, 2018Schnitzel was bland & underwhelming. Jaeger sauce way too fatty, spaetzle was dry. Short ribs were great so were the homemade sausage & sauerkraut. Apple strudel was fresh and delicious. Service C-
Katie MuiAugust 13, 2014I haven't gotten it down to a science yet, but the your best bet for a 15 minute or less wait is 6:15PM on a weekend.
Vincent BartoliApril 27, 2013I had the Jaeger Art. It was delicious. Next time I shall try the Spaetzle.
Jessica ChanApril 10, 2012obviously the wiener schnitzel.... but i also have tried the chicken and its just as amazing!
Afro lynneMay 27, 2018Friendly service but it’s on the pricey side. Portion are much smaller than the usual German restaurants I am used to.
Gregor BeckOctober 30, 2011Great beer (Stiegl). Food is good (schnitzel and Linzer Torte) but not 100% authentic austrian.
Steven MatthewsJuly 25, 2015It's like eating in the beer haus of a delightful Austrian stereotype. Das boot.
RenoMarch 14, 2012Bit of a Marina frat house spoils the atmosphere for me, the Austrian food is not extensive nor creative. Decorated authentically but I much prefer Suppenkuche, Walzwerk or Schmidt's.- Tom McGhanAugust 12, 2013Hey you. Yeah you. The one quoting Beerfest. We get it. You can stop annoying the staff with the same jokes they've heard 3,000 times before.
Let the tenders pick your beer. They will steer you right. Thanks Matt!
Katie PatersonMay 30, 2013Try the Paprika Beef Goulash w/butter spatzle - Last dinner with my Parents before they go home ;(
